In this episode, we sit down with producer and crowdfunding expert Leah Cevoli to hear the story behind a massive crowdfunding success. Leah reveals how she helped a filmmaker double their initial fundraising goal, bringing in an incredible $60,000 for their independent film.

Leah shares her professional insights, explaining the reality of a crowdfunding manager's role—from talking filmmakers down to a realistic budget to becoming a "nagging mother" and "cheerleader" to get the job done.

She also talks about the special connection she has to this project, "Delco, the movie," and how community support can be the most valuable asset a film crew can have.

Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, a creator looking to fund your next project, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode is full of valuable lessons and inspiration.

In this episode of Complain & Conquer, we're unpacking three wildly different, yet equally frustrating, topics.

First, we tackle the controversial new policies aiming to integrate religion and the Bible into public schools in Texas. We explore the arguments from both sides and discuss the potential impact on the education system.

Next, we shift from the classroom to the conference room to dissect the meaningless corporate jargon that plagues the modern workplace. From "synergy" to "circling back," we roast the buzzwords that drive everyone crazy and question why they exist in the first place.

Finally, we dive into the complex and often misunderstood world of single moms on social media, exploring the common trends, tropes, and the unwritten rules of dating and presentation on platforms like Instagram.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• (01:16) - The debate over chaplains and religious texts in Texas public schools.

• (12:35) - Why corporate jargon like "synergy" and "pivot" needs to be retired forever.

• (29:14) - The social media phenomenon of single moms on Instagram and what it all means.

In this segment of Complain & Conquer, we break down the ridiculous world of corporate jargon and woke buzzwords.

Why do we keep saying things like “circle back” instead of just “talk later”? Or “lived experience” instead of simply “what I went through”?

We look at how workplace language has shifted with corporate culture, woke sensitivity, and generational changes — and ask the big question: has it made us more inclusive, or just more absurd?
